Those're some tough choices but I think i'd have to go with Natalie Portman too (or would've if it was still open) and not just cos then i'd be a winner, a winner I tells ya, woohoo ! Ahem ;). There's a bit in 'Beautiful Girls' (decent movie, BTW) where she does this little 'micro-expression' of hurt, so fast it almost seems involuntary, that was just a wonder to behold. Thought then and still do now, the lassie has talent out the wazoo.

There are a few names on this list I could choose between. And there are some names missing, although I note another poll is planned. Amongst the younger actors (not named here), I'd give a shout to Anna Faris.
